(...) Everybody's a comedian... 8^) (...) That's a good question. The current Poke-ball sets seem like a better swipe at the Poke-fad, but they're like five years after the fact, aren't they? Those mosaic sets totally missed the mark, IMO. As far as (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Jeez Louise, that's unexpected. Or maybe not, since the film is coming out. Any idea if the license includes the films (as in the case of the Marvel license) or applies only to the books? Wild stuff. Thanks for the news! Dave! (19 years ago, 3-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I've done a brief but fairly thorough scan of the northern Pittsburgh, PA area to no avail. It was my impression that the smaller sets were to debut some time in May, and I just don't feel like waiting, darn it. Dave! (20 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
